Needles want to lie sorted: what has a place is not found with a bare foot. The stated size is Ø 0.6 mm × 30 mm. Sold as a single item. Produced from plastic, stainless steel.
Cutting the thread short and pulling it smooth threads faster than a frayed end ever will. For basting, darning and sewing on by hand it is the only tool standing between thread and fabric. Needles belong in dry, sorted storage; loose in a drawer they corrode and are never the one being looked for.

- Hand sewing and basting
- Sewing on buttons and trims
- Embroidery and decorative stitches
Frequently asked questions
Which size should I pick?
The fine one for cotton and silk, the strong one for denim and coat fabric. An assortment in the box takes the decision away, because the right size always lies alongside.
When do I change the needle?
As soon as it snags, pulls threads or asks for more force than before. At the machine one more rule: after every larger project, since a blunt point punches holes instead of piercing.
What do I need for jersey?
A needle with a rounded point that slides between the loops instead of piercing them. An ordinary point creates small ladders that show up later.
Why do needles corrode?
Moisture and hand perspiration are enough. Dry storage and a quick wipe after work keep them bright; a filled pincushion protects further. A rusty needle belongs in the bin, because it leaves marks on fabric.
